What is counter claim?

A counterclaim is a claim (lawsuit) made by a defendant (the person getting sued). Often times, if a person is taken to court they will file a claim against the person suing them. This is called a counterclaim. The person making the counterclaim is the counterclaimant.


You recently received a summons for payment of credit card debt at your parents address in New Jersey but you have lived in Nevada for the past 15 years What are your options?

Is this a collection letter or a court summons? Summons -a legal document issued by a court, addressed to a defentant in a legal proceeding. This will usually announce that the person to whom it is directed that a legal proceeding has been started, a file has been started and will announce a date by which the defendant[s] must appear in court or respond in writing to the court or opposing part[ies]. For a collection letter- Often a legitimate debt collector or someone trying to put on over on the consumer will demand payment on a bill that the consumer is not even aware exists' [either by choice or by accident]. Besides ignoring the phone calls [because the statute of limitations has most likely run out],pull your credit report to see if this debt is reporting as 'past due', 'in collections' [etc]. www.annualcreditreport.com If this debt is not being reported, you can almost assume that the account is either not yours [they may be calling all 'Mary A. Smith's' in a 6 state area] or some junk collection agency bought this account and is trying to collect on an old debt. You can take the time to contact the agency to request a 'debt validation'. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires that debt collector issue proof of/for this debt. www.credit.about.com/cs/consumerwisdom/a/123103.htm


Is demand for rolex watches is an exception to the law of demand?

Yes, the demand for Rolex watches may not follow the traditional law of demand due to factors like exclusivity, brand prestige, and status symbol associated with owning a Rolex. Therefore, the demand for Rolex watches can sometimes increase even if the price goes up, as the product is perceived as a luxury good rather than a necessity.

Which statement best best describes the law of demand best?

The law of demand states that as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded by consumers increases, and vice versa. In other words, there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded - when the price goes down, people buy more, and when the price goes up, people buy less.
